"Not Alone Anymore": The Experiences of Adults With Diabetes in New York's Medicaid Health Home Program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

New York State Medicaid's Health Home program is an example of a natural experiment that could affect individuals with diabetes. While evaluations of interventions such as the Health Home program are generally based solely on clinical and administrative data and rarely examine patients' experience, patients may add to the understanding of the intervention's implementation and mechanisms of impact.

Objective

The objective of this study was to qualitatively examine the health and nonmedical challenges faced by Medicaid-insured patients with diabetes and their experiences with the services provided by New York's Health Homes to address these challenges.

Research design

We performed 10 focus groups and 23 individual interviews using a guide developed in collabo
